श्रुति || Shruti (hearing, listening), often spelled 'sruti' or 'sruthi' mainly in South India, is the body of sacred texts comprising the central canon of Hinduism and is one of the three main sources of dharma. Sruthi means a note of sound. The Vedas are a result of the divine hearing of the Rishis of the various divine sounds. As they are received through the art of hearing, Vedas are called Srutis – that which can be heard. These sacred works span much of the history of Hinduism, beginning with some of the earliest known Hindu texts and ending in the early modern period with the later Upanishads. The Vedas are considered [[Apauruseya]].
